<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWhat is Capstar and why is it the best solution for fleas? How does Capstar work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the tablet enters the body, the active ingredient nitenpyram distributes itself in the tissue fluids across the whole body of the pet. When a flea sits on the pet to feed, it, in turn, ingests the chemical. Nitenpyram now inside the flea body attacks its central nervous system and causes hyper-excitation of the nerve cells thereby killing the parasite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When should you treat your dog with Capstar?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Capstar is a quick acting product so, whenever your dog or cat requires instant relief from fleas and the itching that flea bites cause, you can use this tablet that very moment. One can also give this product to a pup or a kitty as young as 4 weeks of age weighing over 2 pounds without any second thoughts. Reason being, the product is completely safe for young dogs and cats (>4weeks) as well as pregnant or nursing animal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n How often can you use Capstar?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Capstar can be used anytime when your pet is infested with fleas. The surprising thing is that you can treat your pet with Capstar<\/a> as often as once a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How long does the effect of Capstar last?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, Capstar remains effective only until 24 hours. However, you can re-administer the tablet again the next day itself. In case you are seeking a long lasting solution to flea problem, then it advisable to go for monthly treatments like Frontline Plus, Advocate or Revolution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is there any side effect of Capstar?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Capstar doesn\u2019t really have any side-effect. In the rarest cases, where the pet is allergic to nitenpyram, he can experience vomiting or diarrhea. Well, if you see your dog or cat getting itchy after the administration of the dose, do not fret. It is a normal reaction. This happens because once the fleas start dying; they are in a hyper-excited mode that makes them sting the pet. This reaction subsides once all the fleas are dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
